Described in this book are features of various techniques that are in use for the quantitative measurement of radiation doses. The authors who are working specialists in different parts of the world have attempted to introduce these techniques not only in a comprehensive manner but, also, review the current state of art as well and explain applications. The first two chapters describe those pertinent features and principles of nuclear radiation which are, one way or the other, in the background of different dosimetric techniques. These chapters are treated at a level that will directly interest students and new entrants preparing for a course in radiation physics and dosimetry.
